Hey there, managers! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant here, ready to tackle one of the most chill (yet sometimes confusing) parts of Football Manager 2017\u2014taking those sweet, sweet holidays. Whether you’re simulating time to speed up the season or just need a break from your virtual managerial stress, I\u2019ve got the lowdown on how to holiday like a pro in FM 2017. Let\u2019s dive in! <\/p>\n
Great question! Sometimes, you just don\u2019t wanna deal with every single match, especially during preseasons, international breaks, or when you\u2019re comfortably mid-table (or, let\u2019s be real, dominating the league). Holiday mode lets you skip ahead while your assistant manager handles things\u2014sorta like putting your career on autopilot. But be careful: your assistant might make *questionable* lineup choices. Proceed with caution! <\/p>\n
It\u2019s stupid easy. Just head to the **”FM” menu** in the top-left corner of the game, click **”Take Holiday,”** and choose how long you wanna dip out. You can pick a set number of days, weeks, or until a specific date. You can even set it to return automatically if certain things happen\u2014like if your team crashes out of a cup (yikes) or if the transfer window opens. Super handy! <\/p>\n
**Best times to holiday:**
\n– **Preseason friendlies** (let your assistant grind through those dull matches).
\n– **International breaks** (nothing\u2019s happening at your club anyway).
\n– **End of the season** (if you\u2019ve got no playoff drama). <\/p>\n
**Worst times to holiday:**
\n– **During a tight relegation battle** (unless you enjoy stress-induced rage-quits).
\n– **Right before a big transfer window** (your assistant might sell your star player for peanuts).
\n– **Key cup matches** (do you *really* trust your assistant in a derby?). <\/p>\n
Depends on your assistant\u2019s skills! If you\u2019ve got a tactical genius as your No. 2, you might come back to a winning streak. If not\u2026 well, let\u2019s just say FM has a way of humbling us all. Pro tip: Set your tactics *before* you leave, or your assistant might switch to a baffling 2-3-5 formation and concede 10 goals. <\/p>\n
If you just wanna skip the boring bits *without* handing over control, try adjusting the **game speed** in settings or using the **”Continue Game Timeout”** option to auto-skip ahead. It\u2019s like holiday-lite! <\/p>\n
Alright, that\u2019s the scoop on FM 2017 holidays! Whether you\u2019re simming to the next transfer window or just avoiding a mid-season slump, now you know how to do it right. Just remember: assistants are unpredictable, so maybe don\u2019t go AFK during a Champions League final. <\/p>\n
